National Cyber Security Task Force

CIO Irvine provides strategic direction for all clients, overseeing product innovation and implementation of the highest quality of service.His expertise is an indispensable resource for our clients developing IT plans.

Irvine has been deeply involved with the IT industry since 1987.
As a result of his early experience, he became an expert in network communications and protocols when others in the industry were just learning how to use their first computer.
Armed with this expertise, Irvine entered the consulting world working for companies like Network General and Advantis, performing detailed network analysis, design and troubleshooting.
Since then, Irvine has filled MIS and CIO positions at multiple facilities and has managed more than 100 technicians and thousands of devices.
He has led multiple project teams, such as the largest Microsoft Directory migration project ever.
In 2008, Irvine was selected to join the National Cyber Security Task Force, a joint operation between the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

"Today, the main driver in hacking is financial," says Jerry Irvine, CIO of Prescient Solutions and member of the National Cyber Security Task Force.
"Criminal, governmental, and third-party organizations are all financially driven."

Modern-day criminals want to be more than nuisances or political rebels, says Irvine, and today's technology isn't complex enough to block their attacks.
